Switch from dict to individual variables
The dictionary-based variables didn't work properly and this patch
changes them to individual variables. If users followed the existing
documentation, their environments will be unaffected by this change
(they are still broken).

The new variables follow the pattern `security_VARIABLENAME` which
will soon become the standard for the role to avoid variable name
collisions with other playbooks and roles.

Release notes are included with this patch.

fixes:
- Failed access logging is now disabled by default and can be enabled by
changing ``security_audit_failed_access`` to ``yes``. The rsyslog daemon
checks for the existence of log files regularly and this audit rule was
triggered very frequently, which led to very large audit logs.
